Extent of Mission Fulfillment Meeting our 9 Objectives: • BENCHMARK or the extent of fulfilling our mission: MAINTAIN and/or EXCEEDS baseline for all 42 measures – Further, set 80% (or 34) of all measures have to be met. • Achieving ASPIRATIONAL TARGETS Strategic Master Plan Structure Core Theme 1 3 Objectives Core Theme 2 3 Objectives Core Theme 3 3 Objectives 42 Measures: each with baseline , benchmark and aspirational target Mission fulfillment = 80% of targets must be met or exceeded Interpretation of Fulfillment of the Institution’s Mission TMCC’s mission statement defines the college’s fundamental purpose in serving its community. Within this mission are three core themes – student success, academic excellence and access to lifelong learning – developed through an inclusive process with the college community. For each of the core themes, objectives the College must satisfy to fulfill its mission has been identified. The degree to which each of the objectives is achieved is based on measurable performance indicators. For the college to meet the core themes of its mission, it needs to maintain or exceed a baseline measure for each indicator within the specified time frame. On another level, however, our mission is always aspirational. TMCC seeks to be the very best it can, and once a benchmark has been exceeded for an objective, that measure will become the new baseline, until the aspirational target is fully achieved. Articulation of an Acceptable Threshold or Extent of Mission Fulfillment Through the development of measurable performance indicators and the revision of core themes and objectives, the college has identified 9 objectives that describe in general how we propose to fulfill our mission. Within each objective, there are a number of indicators of achievement with specific benchmarks to be attained by 2015. Additionally, aspirational targets are defined for the same period as the college challenges itself to achieve a higher standard of success. TMCC defines acceptable progress as maintaining, or exceeding these benchmarks by the year indicated, with the understanding that whenever one goal is achieved, a higher standard will be set as the next goal. While TMCC aspires to satisfy each objective, in some cases the College may not yet be performing at a desired benchmark level. Because of the importance of adopting meaningful indicators and objectives, and not only ones in which the College already excels, the College has identified a clear articulation of mission fulfillment that is based on satisfying at least 80% of the established objective measures. ***ANALYSIS TMCC has: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 3 core themes Each core theme has 3 objectives for a total of 9 objectives From the 9 objectives, a total of 42 measures were identified Each measure has a set benchmark of maintain and/or exceed from a baseline Each measure has an aspirational target To achieve mission fulfillment, 34 measures or 80% of 42 measures must maintain and/or exceed its set benchmark.

(Check all that apply) ✔ Add a policy Revise a policy Delete a policy Other Please provide the text of the new policy. (If this request is for a revision, please provide previous policy text with mark ups on a separate sheet.) Computer Hardware and Software Purchases: All computer hardware, software, and software as a service (SaaS) purchases must be reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Department prior to purchase or contracting to ensure compatibility and ongoing support. Background Please provide the reason and justification for request - Hardware or software must fulfill TMCC IT's standards to be able to function on the network - IT approved equipment guarantees functionality and support - By standardizing equipment, TMCC will receive greater volume discounts and warranty from already approved vendors - software purchases should be evaluated by the IT Programming Unit to assure the potential software will be compatible with TMCC's and NSHE's systems - IT will be able to evaluate and assure that security and FERPA concerns are addressed - While Software as a Service (SaaS) might proved a quick solution, the service might come at a considerable cost calculated over several years; contracts also have to be re-negotiated after the end of the contract term which usually leaves companies in a "locked-in" situation with little negotiation room; data security is the biggest concern with SaaS Impact Please describe the impact of this request (cost, legal ramifications, etc.) - Departments will need to contact IT and provide documentation about the hardware, software or SaaS - IT will discuss the software with the vendor and provide guidance on behalf of TMCC - The purchasing time might be slightly prolonged due to IT evaluation - IT approval will guarantee that the hardware, software, or SaaS will be compatible with TMCC's network and indeed is the most cost-effective solution for TMCC Submitted By _______________________________________________________ Signature Page 1 of 1; Request For Policy Reviewe TMCC is an EEO/AA institution.

After review by some members, it appeared more appropriate to update a current policy (Sustainability 5003) for future flexibility than create a new policy specific to computer shutdown. This way, additional policies related to sustainability could be added more easily without a new policy for each. The authors of the Computer Shutdown Policy and the President’s Office have offered the update below. The procedures for Computer Shutdown may be pursued under this updated policy at a later date. Policy Update: 5003 Text in italics blue is new; text in red strikethrough is to be omitted. TMCC Sustainability in Business Practices Policy 5003 TMCC is committed to responsible stewardship of resources and to demonstrating leadership in sustainable business practices. Procedures and practices that provide environmental benefits, reduce dependency on non-renewable energy sources, and offer other resource conservation benefits resulting in cost savings and maintenance of a healthy workplace for students, faculty, staff, and visitors shall be implemented upon approval of the President. Truckee Meadows Community College strives to minimize the environmental and financial impact of construction, renovation, maintenance and operation of its campus facilities. As new buildings are designed, it is a priority of the college to incorporate sustainable building concepts that benefit the environment, reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources, yield long-term cost savings, and provide a healthy workplace for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The benefits of applying the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system will be considered during the planning phase of all new buildings. Maintenance and operation strategies for existing facilities incorporate sustainable building concepts for the efficient management of energy and water resources and allow for the use of local renewable energy resources where practical. The transportation plan for the College is to maximize the use of alternative fuels and alternative transportation. Procedures: The procedures are available by contacting individual departments. For a list of procedures in effect per this policy, contact the President’s Office. the Facilities Operations website at www.tmcc.edu/facilities/. Originating Source: Vice President of Administrative Services Facilities Operations and Capital Planning www.tmcc.edu/facilities/ Responsible Office: President’s Office Facilities Operations and Capital Planning www.tmcc.edu/facilities/ Updated: TBD TMCC Policy Briefing Paper Follow Up to Policy 5318 and 5320 Rights of Citizenship April 2014 President’s Advisory Council At the February meeting, the PAC approved Policy 5318 as presented, but decided to not delete Policy 5320 until further review. Both are “owned” by the scheduling office, and 5318 was intended to clarify and replace 5320. After review by a PAC sub committee on this topic, the Option for Combination below is being submitted for consideration. Option for Combination Rights to Free Speech and Peaceful Assembly 5318 TMCC students are both citizens and members of our academic community and are subject to the same rights and responsibilities of any other members of this community. TMCC supports constitutionally protected freedom of speech and peaceful assembly rights and has established a public forum area at the Dandini Campus for use by TMCC students, employees and outside entities for this purpose. Original Discussion This policy was adopted at the February 2014 PAC meeting: Right to Assemble 5318 TMCC supports constitutionally protected freedom of speech and peaceful assembly rights and has established a public forum area at the Dandini Campus for use by TMCC students, employees and outside entities for this purpose. This policy was slated for removal at the February 2014 PAC, but was held for more discussion in relation to the one above: Exercise of Rights of Citizenship 5320 Truckee Meadows Community College students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens, students have the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and right of petition that other citizens enjoy and, as members of the academic community, they are subject to the obligations that accrue to them by virtue of this membership.

For the biennial period 2015‐2017, TMCC proposes to allocate most of the fee increases to need‐based financial aid grant and scholarships. This continues the college’s support to help students fund their education. Nevada doesn’t have such a program now for need based financial aid. Establishment of such a program requires state legislation. For the next biennial period 2017‐2019, TMCC proposes to enhance financial aid and retention support services to students, including Veterans. Compensation Equity Committee Salary Equity Adjustment Plan Status as of April 7, 2014 • • • • To prevent further compression and inversion, an effective date of July 2014 is recommended. Adopt UMG’s proposed salary equity adjustments as follows: o Provide an additional 2.5% for tenured faculty who falls below the minimum of the new salary schedule. This is effective July 2013 with an estimated cost of $14,129. o Provide salary adjustment to market factor (zero rank) faculty using 80% of the market composite midpoint. This is estimated at $10,038. o Adjust tenured and tenure track academic faculty first 10 years of service to align with NSHE initial placement pay at 2.5% of the minimum of their range for each year of experience. This is estimated at $518,210 o Adjust tenured and tenure track academic faculty with 11 plus years with annual progression scale of at least 0.75%. If funding is available, annual progression scale of up to 1% is highly desirable. This will cost an additional $201,464 for academic faculty adjustments. o Adjust administrative faculty whose current base salary falls below the average of similarly placed administrative faculty group within each grade and years in position. Adjustment will be based on range penetration and job complexity but would not exceed the average salary within each group. This is estimated at $75,138. Implement a $25 per credit adjustment to part-time faculty salary ($750 to $775) in an effort to come closer to the NSHE CC part-time faculty salary parity. This is estimated at $135,000. Utilize the following funding sources to implement the salary equity adjustment. They include: o Academic faculty vacancies proposed to be eliminated by the Budget Reduction Committee. The estimated savings is $528,000. o Additional buyout savings that were not used for balancing the FY 2015 operating buyout. $900K o Anticipated vacancy savings due to hiring delays or positions on hold beyond system mandated savings $350K.
